This panel addresses the kinds of critical and largely ethical questions we confront in our modern-day discourse, exploring the intent of the First Amendment (does it protect lies?), the reasons we lie (or, in fact, are we just strategically misleading?), and, through the lens of a lawyer, a fact checker, and a scientist, the ways various of us define and “get to” the truth. Panelists include Geoffrey Stone , Larissa MacFarquhar , Fred Dust , Drew Endy , Russell Muirhead , Yudhijit Bhattacharjee , Yvonne Rolzhausen , Jack Rakove and Neal Katyal .Aspen Ideas Festival 2017: Deep Dive- Lying, BSing and the Meaning of Truthhttp://aspenpublicradio.org/post/aspen-ideas-festival-2017-deep-dive-lying-bsing-and-meaning-truth

When a tumor was discovered in Steven’s brain, he wanted to know everything he could about it, even choosing to stay awake during the surgery that removed the mass. But getting information about his own treatment was much more complicated than he anticipated. His experience led him to become a patient advocate. He now works on technology that would make medical data more accessible and easier to understand for patients themselves. We also talk with caregiver advocate Ai-jen Poo. She’s the director of the National Domestic Workers Alliance, advocating for labor protection for nannies, housekeepers, and home healthcare workers. She’s also the co-director of Caring Across Generations. This organization creates and promotes policies that support seniors and people with disabilities, and the families and professionals who care for them.Spotlight Health 2017, Episode 5http://aspenpublicradio.org/post/spotlight-health-2017-episode-5

60723 as http://aspenpublicradio.orgMon, 12 Dec 2016 13:00:02 +0000Big themes formed for Aspen Ideas FestivalBarbara Platts Vice President Joe Biden closed out the 12th annual Aspen Ideas Festival Saturday. A main theme that emerged over the past nine days at the Aspen Ideas Festival was the concern about an intense polarization in the United States. Biden had the final word on that point. He thinks that politics are particularly divided right now and he is concerned about this election. “The point is that we don’t listen to each other much anymore and it worries me. And that’s what worries me about this election. It looks like an election that is going to be conducted that is frontal assault on the other person,” Biden said. “And I’m not sure, even when there are the substantive arguments being made how much they will be listened to by the press. We got to get by this place. We really do for the sake of the country.” The Vice President also talked about Moonshot, his cancer research initiative, which is a follow-up promise he made to his son, Beau Biden, who died of brain cancer a year ago.
